Our back bar is now stocked with a refined selection of Japanese whiskeys—from smoky to floral, there's something to suit every palate. Japanese whiskeys are revered worldwide for their meticulous craftsmanship, blending innovative techniques with traditional practices to create unique and sophisticated flavours.

Take, for example, the Suntory Toki, known for its exceptional balance and harmony, featuring a silky texture with a subtly sweet and spicy finish. It's a great introduction to Japanese whiskey, highlighting the delicate artistry involved in its production.

Another excellent choice is the Nikka Gold & Gold Samurai, offering a rich and complex profile with hints of honey, spices, and a smooth, lingering finish. The Samurai edition is particularly notable for its distinctive packaging, which adds an element of cultural heritage to its presentation.

The crown jewel of our whiskey offering is Hibiki 21, crafted by Suntory and aged for at least 21 years. It boasts a rich amber hue, with aromas of dried fruits, honey, and dark chocolate. The palate features sweet caramel, ripe plums, and a subtle spiciness, leading to a smooth finish. This whiskey was awarded “World’s Best Blended Whisky” in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2019.

Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of Japanese whiskeys, our selection promises an enlightening journey into the heart of Japanese distilling traditions.
